I walked the Camino last year in memory of my Daughter who sadly passed away the year before.As Johnny says just ask the staff in the pilgrims office to add the details to your Compostela and they will oblige. Though I said "I Walked" my daughter was with me every step of the way and encouraged...

I can recommend the Hotel Suiza. Stayed there last week. Double room was 37 euros and it had a full bath,such a luxury after so long on the Camino.
It is on the main road out of Arzua and just off the Camino.Just after you cross the Rio Barrosas on leaving Arzua there is a small track leading...

Taking the train from Biarritz means you have to change in Bayonne anyway. A taxi, Biarritz Airport to SJPP would cost around Euro 80.00.I think there is also a bus from Biarritz Town Centre but not sure of times.

Why bother with milk.Here in Valencia we have Cafe Carihuela, First warm a glass,then add some sugar,pour in a very large shot of brandy,and then add a small shot of strong black coffee,warming the glass is very important,I tend not to go back to the places that don't do that. Wakes you up in...
In Spain a lot of the roasted Coffee beans are "Torrefacto" which means the beans are roasted with some added sugar.This creates a caramel glaze around the beans and is said to protect the essential oils, I find it quite bitter and very strong and I prefer the "Mezcla" coffees which are a blend...
Yes, the card you term an NIE card seems to be a Spanish Residencia Card,they are no longer issued and it is true that the authorities now issue a Residencia Certificate which no longer has your photo on it.When your Residencia expires you have to exchange it for a Certificate. I collected mine...
The Spanish NIE card does not have a photograph on it as opposed to a Spanish Identity Card which does.If you don't want to carry your passport how about getting a photocopy of the page with your picture on it and get it reduced and encapsulated.
If you want to use a credit card in Spain most...
